The Hollow Wall
My earliest ghostly memory isn’t from the old farmhouse where I grew up, but from a cramped bungalow in the outskirts of Saskatoon, where my mother, my sister, and I...
The Static Between Calls
In April of 2003, I was twelve, navigating the labyrinth of seventh grade and the city bus system that spat me out an hour from home. My cell phone, a...
The Moth in the Archive
The old library on Hemlock Lane had a basement that no one spoke about. I’d been working there for three months, digitizing brittle newspapers and municipal records, when I first...
The Threshold of the Hungry Ceiling
My name is Ethan, and I’ve been a chronic sleepwalker of the mind for as long as I can remember. The episodes usually follow a familiar script: I’m yanked from...
The Frequency of the Unheard
The house on Wrenfield Lane had always hummed with the quiet rhythm of domestic life. My wife, Clara, and I had moved there with our two children, young Oliver and...
The Lantern in the Wall
In the autumn of 2019, my aunt Clara lived in a narrow brick house on the edge of a town that had once been a mill settlement. The house was...
The Cartographer’s Debt
I have always trusted maps. The neat lines, the careful symbols, the promise of order imposed upon chaos. That trust is why I took the job cataloging the estate of...
The Salt Creek Standoff
In the autumn of 1987, when I was nine, my family packed our lives into a U-Haul and moved from the cramped duplex in Bakersfield to a sprawling farmhouse on...

The Gilded Finch
June 3rd, 2023, was a strange day for me. I was walking to the antique shop where I worked, and as I crossed the intersection of Birch and Willow, a...
The Knob That Twisted
It was the summer I house-sat for my cousin Marisol, who lived in the old mill town of Ashford. The house was a renovated textile factory, all exposed brick and...
The Unwelcome Visitor
My friend Clara had a problem with a shadowy figure that would sometimes appear outside her bedroom window. It scared her so much that she hung a small, painted charm...
The Doorknob That Turned
It was a sweltering August afternoon when I first noticed the door. My friend Mira had inherited her grandmother’s old farmhouse, a sprawling Victorian relic that creaked and sighed with...
The Static in the Morning
When I moved into the attic apartment on Calloway Street, I justified the peeling paint and the faulty heater with the promise of a bargain. The landlord, a man with...

The old house creaked and groaned around Elara like a dying beast. Dust motes danced in the slivers of moonlight piercing the grimy windows of the attic room she’d claimed...
Red Eyes
My mother had recently told me of something strange that happened to her when she was a teenager. She was walking home alone in the summer and it was almost...
The Perpetual Harvest
The old farmhouse sat at the end of a gravel road, its white paint peeling like sun-scorched skin. I was a botanist, newly arrived in the town of Harrow’s Reach,...
The Mirror in the Hall
I never believed in doppelgangers until the summer I turned sixteen, when they started appearing in the most ordinary places. The first time, I was in my apartment, alone, sorting...
